Delaying the Inevitable

Morris, standing at the top of the stairs at 9:00 p.m.: “Mom! Dad! Moooooom!”
Rob: “Morris, what are you doing up?”
Morris: “I have to go pee.”
Rob: “Then go pee.”
Morris: “You can come up too if you want. You can come up. I SAID, you can come up if you want. I know it’s not playtime.”
